Lake Academy.

The fact that Qin Fu had become a teacher at Lake Academy could no longer be concealed. Everyone found out about it.

Young Master Qin only had one student, and everyone knew that it was Wan Xiaosu.

Bai Qiangwei and Qin Ya were both in this school. On the first day of Wan Xiaosu’s enrollment, all kinds of rumors were already flying around.

“You might not know this, but Wan Xiaosu is just a poor girl from the countryside. After she hooked up with my cousin, she started to act wildly. She even fought with me a few times!”

“Is she that arrogant? You are the legitimate eldest daughter of the Qin family. What is she? A wild girl from the countryside.”

“Who knows! Some people are born with nothing and can’t stand to see others have good things. She’s jealous!”

…

Wan Xiaosu had no idea. As soon as she stepped onto campus, she was surrounded by a few girls.

Bai Qiangwei and Qin Ya stood in front.

The person who disliked Wan Xiaosu the most was Bai Qiangwei. In Bai Qiangwei’s eyes, this woman had taken everything she had.

Of course, she didn’t like her.

“Wan Xiaosu, I advise you to leave Lake Academy! This place isn’t suitable for you. The smell of poverty coming off you is going to mess up the atmosphere of this academy.” Bai Qiangwei humiliated her, treating Wan Xiaosu as a punching bag.

Bai Qiangwei was venting her dissatisfaction here.

Qin Ya chimed in, “That’s right. Why don’t you take a look at yourself and see if you suit Lake Academy’s reputation?”

“As expected! Girls from the countryside have no sense of dignity. They shamelessly want to stay in places that they don’t belong in.”

“That’s right! Get lost! Otherwise, we won’t be polite to you.”

The other students followed Bai Qiangwei and Qin Ya’s lead and humiliated Wan Xiaosu.

Wan Xiaosu clenched her fingers into fists and stared silently at them.

Bai Qiangwei reached out and pushed her. “Don’t you understand? No one likes you, but you’re still here. What’s the point?”

“The academy isn’t run by you guys. Why should I leave just because you guys say a few mean things?” Wan Xiaosu straightened up and looked at them, refusing to back down.

They were all the same. They were students too. Why should she have to leave?

Should she leave because she’s from the countryside?

Wan Xiaosu did not want to continue being a weakling. The teacher from yesterday was right.

“Wan Xiaosu, don’t you know what’s good for you?” Qin Ya looked at her and couldn’t help but think of the slap from some time ago.

“I didn’t do anything. Why should I leave? Why should I listen to you?” Wan Xiaosu had already decided to study hard, so she would persevere.

Nothing else should matter. What they thought had nothing to do with her. She just had to study well.

She wanted to walk past the students.

However, they blocked her path.

They immediately began to force Wan Xiaosu down. Wan Xiaosu gritted her teeth.

She looked at them stubbornly, not afraid at all.

Sometimes, fear made things worse. The more she feared them, the more they would bully her.

They didn’t let her pass.

“What are you guys doing?” Suddenly, a sharp voice sounded, and they broke apart.

Wan Xiaosu picked herself up and bit her lip. She wiped away the blood from the corner of her mouth with her thumb.

Her gaze was stubborn and persistent. It was a little different from what Eliza had seen yesterday. She was also a little surprised, obviously not expecting it.

She did not expect to see this side of Wan Xiaosu.

She was a little surprised.

“Lake Academy is not a place for brawls. Write a reflective essay on this incident!” Eliza scolded the students coldly.

Qin Ya was a little unwilling to let Wan Xiaosu go just like that. “Teacher Eliza, this is a private matter, and you don’t need to interfere! Remember your place. You’re just a woman from a village.”

“That’s right! I’m from a village, but your family still entrusts your education to me. What’s there to be unhappy about?” Eliza didn’t care about those things at all. She wasn’t exceptionally powerful, but she wasn’t weak either.

If she had let a few children get in her way, she wouldn’t be where she was today.

The group dispersed hesitantly.

Eliza turned around and looked at Wan Xiaosu. “Can you make it to class?”

“Yes, I can.” Wan Xiaosu nodded, her eyes even more stubborn.

Seeing her sorry state now, Eliza seemed to understand Young Master Qin’s intentions. However, whether the girl in front of her could understand it too was another matter.

Eliza was a woman. She could tell that there were many problems between them.

Wan Xiaosu had no feelings for Young Master Qin.

“Let’s go!” Eliza started walking, and Wan Xiaosu followed.

She brought Wan Xiaosu to her classroom.

The classroom was very spacious. There were students’ desks and a teacher’s desk.

There was an electronic whiteboard and a bookcase filled with books.

There was an artificial intelligence robot.

The curtains in the classroom were pure white. When the wind blew, they would flutter slightly.

It looked like a young girl’s dress swaying in the wind as she danced.

“This used to be Young Master Qin’s classroom. I don’t really care who you are to Young Master Qin. I simply hope that you will grow in Lake Academy.” Eliza patted her shoulder, hoping that she would understand Young Master Qin’s intentions.

Wan Xiaosu pursed her lips and did not say anything. She just walked in slowly.

She gently caressed everything here with her fingertips. Something about this place was familiar to her. It was like she had been here before.

It was strange.

It was a very subtle feeling.

After Eliza left…

Qin Fu came to the classroom and looked at her sternly. “Sit properly! Wan Xiaosu! It’s time for class. Don’t be distracted.”

“Alright.” Wan Xiaosu obediently sat in her seat.

She listened attentively to Qin Fu’s explanations. He explained each point very differently from how instructors usually explained things.

She took notes seriously, and while she was in class, she put away any prejudices she harbored against Qin Fu.

She only treated him as her teacher.

Wan Xiaosu had always been a student who loved to learn, so she listened very seriously. Her notes were very detailed.

Seeing how serious she was, Qin Fu slowed down his lecture, ensuring that she could catch up.

During lunch…

Qin Fu brought Wan Xiaosu to the canteen. She was still holding a book, and she looked like she was preparing for her high school exams.

Qin Fu was amused to see her like this. Eventually, he took her book away. “You need your own space to study. Don’t be so reckless. You won’t be able to absorb anything like this.”

“I just want to learn quickly.” She was worried that she wouldn’t get another opportunity like this.

Lake Academy was an excellent school with incredible facilities. Wan Xiaosu wanted to absorb more theoretical knowledge.

She wanted to learn quickly and grow.

Perhaps, once she knew enough, she could leave Qin Fu!
